You likely are familiar with the fact that fentanyl is a high-potency opioid drug that comes with a strong risk of addiction. While it can be prescribed for concerns like severe pain, you can develop physical dependence on fentanyl quickly.

Developing a dependence on any type of opioid drug can be scary for the person going through it and their loved ones. Getting addiction treatment in a supportive and compassionate environment like Icarus Behavioral Health Idaho can help.

Our Idaho-Based Detox and Addiction Treatment Programs

Icarus Behavioral Health Idaho provides individualized treatment plans for substance abuse, mental health, and dual-diagnosis disorders. The following programs at Icarus Behavioral Health are available to you or your loved one looking for a fentanyl addiction treatment center.

Sub-Acute Detox

Icarus Behavioral Health offers sub-acute detox in Idaho that can help you get through the initial stages of fentanyl withdrawal. Our center offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction. MAT can help you through the withdrawal process, potentially alongside other treatments, and may be used to help you maintain sobriety.

In most cases, fentanyl detox is not life-threatening.

However, if you are at risk of severe symptoms or need a high level of medical supervision during the fentanyl withdrawal process, we will provide referral to an accredited partner facility.

Inpatient Fentanyl Rehab at Icarus Idaho

Inpatient rehab for drug abuse is intensive and structured. Since staff members are present 24/7 and illicit drugs are not allowed on-site, inpatient addiction treatment can be an ideal starting level of care for those overcoming fentanyl abuse.

While in our inpatient program, you will participate in daily group therapy, regular individual therapy sessions, and other treatments, such as family therapy sessions. We use a broad range of evidence-based therapies and complementary treatments. For example, behavioral therapies, motivational therapies, art therapy, and relapse prevention training.

Outpatient Fentanyl Rehab

Our outpatient programs in Boise provide comprehensive therapy while allowing clients to live off-site. Icarus Behavioral Health Idaho offers multiple levels of outpatient care. This includes our partial hospitalization program (PHP) and our intensive outpatient program (IOP).

PHP at our rehab center in Idaho meets daily throughout the week for the majority of the day. IOP programs meet for shorter sessions and is suitable for those who need or are ready to return to work while in treatment.

The Most Common Fentanyl Withdrawal Symptoms

Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid more potent than morphine. Your body and brain will take some time to adjust when you stop using fentanyl, and the drug stops flooding your opioid receptors.

It is important to be compassionate toward yourself during this time and to get professional treatment for fentanyl withdrawal.

Fentanyl withdrawal symptoms you might expect include but aren’t limited to:

Nausea and vomiting.
Abdominal cramping.
Changes in pupil size.
Goosebumps.
Diarrhea
Runny nose.
Sweating.
Insomnia
Anxiety.
Agitation.

One of the first steps in breaking fentanyl dependence is getting through the withdrawal process. Opioid withdrawal symptoms are uncomfortable, but they will not last forever.

Fentanyl Withdrawal Timeline

Most people experiencing fentanyl addiction will start to enter acute opioid withdrawal within about 8-24 hours after their last time using the drug. Withdrawals for short-acting opioid drugs like fentanyl usually last for around 4-10 days.

Some factors, like your overall health status and how much fentanyl you use on a regular basis, can impact how long you experience withdrawal symptoms and how severe they are.

Risks of Fentanyl Abuse

Getting help for fentanyl addiction can help you avoid future risks of using the drug. It is also the first step toward overcoming the consequences of drug use you may have faced already. Risks of fentanyl abuse include but aren’t limited to:

Opioid overdose. Fentanyl is one of the substances most likely to cause drug overdose deaths in the United States. If you live through a fentanyl overdose–even an accidental one–it could result in permanent health problems.
Problems at work or school. Drug abuse is heavily associated with poor performance at work or school. Fentnanyl use may increase your risk of job loss, getting trouble at work, absence, or workplace accidents and injuries.
Financial issues. Fentanyl addiction can be costly. Many people who develop a dependence on the drug experience financial issues, potentially resulting in homelessness and other devastating consequences in the long term.

Fentanyl is a Schedule I controlled substance. Some people face legal consequences as a result of fentanyl possession and abuse. Icarus Behavioral Health Idaho provides case management for clients facing legal issues.

FAQs About Fentanyl in Idaho

What is the fentanyl law in Idaho?

The maximum sentence for trafficking fentanyl in Idaho is a life sentence in prison, and the minimum is three years. A person’s sentence and the fine they must pay for trafficking fentanyl will depend on factors like how much of the drug they possess.

What are three things that can help with fentanyl withdrawal symptoms?

Medication treatment, hydration, and nutrition are three things that can help people through fentanyl withdrawal symptoms. Often, these are factors that medical providers like ours focus on when helping clients through detox, alongside the emotional symptoms and drug cravings that could emerge. Even though getting off of opioid drugs is not usually dangerous, it can be very challenging and could lead to issues like dehydration caused by vomiting or lack of fluid intake.

Do fentanyl side effects go away?

Most of the side effects of fentanyl use will go away in time, including withdrawal symptoms. Some effects, like brain damage caused by lack of oxygen to the brain (in the case of an overdose), can be permanent. You can experience a fentanyl overdose at any point when using the drug, and many fentanyl overdoses are accidental.

What are the side effects of fentanyl?

Short-term side effects of fentanyl can include but aren’t limited to slowed breathing, euphoria, loss of consciousness, “nodding off” and drowsiness, gastrointestinal problems, visual disturbance, confusion, and hallucinations.

Does Boise, Idaho have a drug problem?

Yes. There is a drug problem in Boise and across the United States. Fentanyl and methamphetamine are some of the drugs most often involved in overdose deaths in the US as a whole, and both substances have been seized in local investigations in recent years. Additionally, there were 264 Opioid-related deaths in Idaho alone in 2023.

What is the reversal for fentanyl?

Medications like naloxone can reverse overdose on opioid drugs, including fentanyl. You need to use naloxone correctly and within a specific timeframe for it to work. Carrying naloxone and learning to use it can help prevent deaths resulting from fentanyl overdose.
